We offer supervised drop-in climbing times for all levels, free belay orientations and registered classes to help beginners get going! All climbers must be over 13 years old and demonstrate proper use of harness and safe belaying before climbing. Children 4 -12 years must be belayed by an adult (18 years and up).

Clothing and equipment

Ropes, harnesses and belay devices are provided at no extra charge for all programs. Climbing shoes are not provided, but clean snug-fitting running shoes are adequate.

Jeans are allowed to be worn in climbing drop-in (by participants and instructors), but are NOT allowed on the gymnastics equipment.

Free belay classes

Anyone aged 13 and older can take the free belay class prior to climbing drop-in to learn and take the belay test. Participants 4 - 12 years are eligible to attend the belay class if an adult (18+) accompanies and belays them. 13 years and up can climb without parental supervision as long as they have passed the belay test.
